How To Make A Studio DJ Mix Using FL Studio
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Using the stock plugin "Fruity Parametric EQ 2" and the free program "Rekordbox" to analyze song BPM's we can make a DJ mix using FL Studio.
I also show you how to edit a song to to make it shorter within FL allowing for faster mixing of songs in shorter spaces.
that was best tutorial out there , thanks a lot a man , i dont know why some people make it look like hard by makin 20+ min videos and talking shits , have a great day
Thank you! Its as simple as add track> add bpm> line up tracks> automate bass on/off > repeat.
the big thing that makes this so powerful is it allows you to mix as many songs as you want and allows you to edit the songs to fit your mix.
Happy mixing!
I’ve been obsessed with Fl Studio for the past couple of months. This is gold.
It’s a very robust program! Cheers and happy mixing !
BRO THIS HAS COME IN SO CLUTCH!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Man!!!!! MANNNNN! woww i loved itt, i never really thought about mixing with Fruity loops, and normally when i wanna record a set for soundcloud i do it on recordbox and record and then start over at every mistake lol. Lovely Tutorial, keep it up.
Could you make a video about other transition effects we usually do in record box? such as beatspin, filter, echo, etc? Would be fun to watch as a beginner in Fruity loops
@@karamthebian1660 FL has many built in effects! you can totally do a backspin using "Grossbeat".... its a time stretching real time quantization tool you can use to make anything from noise gates to emulate scratching on a turntable and its built into FL as a stock plugin.
other things like flangers, phasers, filters, delays, reverb and echos (and more) are all stock effects that come with fruity loops also!
so instead of just adding a parametric EQ for mixing the two tracks you can add effects also for even more in depth transitions.
you can even automate tempo changes in your entire project and shift from one genre into another if you wanted!
(for example going from house into drum and bass can be done with tempo automation)
Thank you so much I’m working on my volume 2 nonstop mix 📀
btw parametric eq has a 3 band preset, if u use that u dont need to make multiple automation clips
you can also link multiple knobs/faders/buttons to one automation clip also allowing for one clip to control multiple parameters
Amazing! Thank you for the concise video!
Great tutorial, I subbed
This is interesting. Kind of reminds me of the old mixmeister software
FL studio is more designed for making music than making DJ mixes. But this is the workflow I came up with for making DJ mixes in FL studio. To make a DJ mix you really just need a few things, 3 band eq, two audio sources and a mixer.
Dude this tutorial is amazing, but i am not a native english speaker, would you pls enable the automatic translate subtitles? That would be very helpful for a lot of people, thanks!
i enabled the english subtitles and now you should be able to auto generate subtitles of other languages!
thanks for bringing this to my attention, i never considered a non native english speaker looking up this subject until now.
good looking out homie!
Hi, can you send me a download link of the Fruity Limiter preset you used in this video? I was wondering how the tracks don't sound distorted or over-compressed through your limiter.
@@NguyenNam-qx7jy I’m using the fruity compressor on the master channel with the preset “fast master”.
I remove the limiter from the master channel and only use the compressor
Great vid, need some help tho when i drag the song from rekordbox to fl it does not show up fast and easy like you did. it does not go into fl studio at all ? help please
If the files aren’t saved on your computer you won’t be able to drag and drop. In rekord box you can right click any track and “view in browser” and it will open the folder that file lives in.
So do you not have too change the project bpm this way when you have 2 different songs with different bpms and both of them being different too the projects 130 bpm?
when you right click the sound and and click "fit to tempo" then select "type in bpm" it will resize the song to fit the tempo of the project itself and correct the pitch back to the original pitch.
so whatever your project bpm is.... is the tempo of the songs after you've stretched each one by typing in the bpm
@@cody_raves facts so the project bpm will change in the top left or stay at the first beats bpm or change with the actual bpm? Thanks a lot for responding
@@Phantomstar9neither, the track will 'resize'. Honestly, the stretching algorythm is pretty weak and will mess around with transient like the kick, so just use resample (pitch shift), unless you really need it in a specific key (while cutting the low frequencies).
@@NoNamer123456789 facts I I realize this one making a mix for my sisters seniors thesis at the University of Florida for dance. I realize that there was no point of doing any stretching and I just kept the songs that the original BPM and made sure they were close on the key map or key Circle and made sure that the BPM were pretty closeand it worked out pretty well. That way all I did was throw a clipper limit on the nine and 10 and called it a day
@@Phantomstar9 Really depends on what you're playing. Like if you're playing mainstream oldies one by one, then it doesn't matter.
But if you want to actually mix proper dance music you gotta have the same BPM, unless you know when to slow down/speed up a track or you could just activate some reverb, let it fade out, then start the track with another BPM, for example.
bro thanks a lot!!!
No problem! Glad my work flow for mixes helped you! Happy mixing!
Where do you find the song you put into the first software? Not fø
where ever you saved the mp3's to!
there is a file explorer in rekordbox. just navigate to the folder where your mp3 collection lives and simply drag and drop into your FL project
@@cody_raves i Wonder where you find the mp3/ songs when you first search for them online
@@kristinazaikina7510there is a forum I belong to. edmc.nu it’s a dance music forum where people post tracks all day
So all dj Use Fl Studio for their Custom extended remix? I thought they take other peoples Extended version of tracks.. ah this makes sense now.. begginer dj here 😅 so i need Fl studio huh for my custom Remix
You certainly don’t need fl studio for DJing at all!
This is a clever way to make a “DJ mix” in FL Studio.
Traditional DJ setup is two decks and a two channel mixer. Nowadays you can find all in one controllers that do the job well!
What is going on at 2:46? I downloaded the song from youtube and it doesn't have the same part and it's shorter. Did you add it yourself since my song ends at 33 seconds but yours continue to 41. Could you point me to a tutorial or what the technique is called to extend it that way?
I’m not sure what you mean, in this tutorial I edit the song by shortening it using the slice tool and clicking the magnet in the top left of the playlist and selecting cell so when I move the sample it’s snapped to the grid.
I also use the magnet set to none when I align the two songs up before setting it to cell
@@cody_raves Thank you for replying and let me try to rephrase my question. At 0:40 you dragged the song to Fl studio and it's 95 seconds long but when I dragged the same song it's 85 seconds long (the one I downloaded from youtube). It's missing an outro. I guess what I'm asking where do you get the song with the outro included?
@@spongeyg often artists release shorter versions of songs for music videos or radio versions, look for the original mix
@@cody_raves Thank you so much I was able to find the original mix of the songs from Soundcloud. After that I was able to replicate what you did in the tutorial and it came out perfect. Cheers
@@spongeyg and the cool thing about doing this is you can make custom edits of tracks you already own doing this. Making your own VIP’s of tracks
I’ve been wondering how to do this for so long. Any extra tips for using a midi with this kind of setup?
you can assign any knob or fader to link with a midi controller and physically turn them to turn up/down the bass..... hit the record button and make sure you record the automation to a blank pattern and that the pattern is on the playlist. like if its pattern 1 you place it on the playlist, then hit record and then you physically turn the knob and then all that data is stored in pattern 1 will contain the movement of that knob.
for a live setup you might have to use LIVE mode. but you need to make markers for cue points for each sounds and also would need enough knobs and faders for bass mid low and volume for each track
do you have to buy all the songs you want to use?
You need to have MP3’s or wav files. Other file formats also can work but 9 times out of ten it’s either mp3 or wav. If you need a source for tracks check out this forum edmc.nu I get MP3’s there all the time
@@cody_raves THANK YOU! your video was extremely helpful! building my first DJ set
I have problems with dragning the file in to the DAW, in this case FLSTUDIO, i use BEATPORT, and the question is, can I use that to export music to FL or does the music need to be downloaded on the computer, answer ASAP
The files must be stored somewhere on your computer to drag and drop.
@@cody_raves okey then i know
@@cody_raves du you have any tech house folders that you can share?
